Pint Jockeys plan tasting event

June 13, 2014 at 1:13 a.m.

The Pint Jockeys invite the public to join them at their monthly tasting event from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at the Del Papa Distribution Center Hospitality Room, 3907 E. Rio Grande St., to introduce beer enthusiasts to new, seasonal and rare craft brews from the Del Papa Distributing portfolio.

Attendees will have the chance to sample six different beers from some of the country's finest craft brewers. Beers on the lineup include Saint Arnold's highly sought after 20th Anniversary Ale, a limited summer release cider from Woodchuck and "Easy Jack" - a Firestone Walker brew that just hit the Texas Gulf Coast for the first time - and more. All tastings are free and open to adults 21 and older.

In 2011, a group of beer fans launched The Pint Jockeys blog and Facebook page to help raise awareness for craft beer in Southeast Texas.
